User Reviews

Great episode with some great acting

Seriously this is one of the best episodes in the series a lot of backstory and feelings resurface. It felt alive and close great acting on all sides. Usually I tend to skip some parts of episodes in almost all series out there but this one I actually watched through and felt kinda sad that it ended. With more episodes like this one I would love to see a lot more from this show.
